Assistant Professor
Hayatu Raji has DPhil in Biochemistry (Molecular Biology & Yeast Genetics) from the University of Sussex, and an MSc in Biochemistry (Genetic Manipulation and Molecular Cell Biology) from the University of Sussex. Before joining AUN in 2010, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford UK, where he investigated the modification of the Chk1 protein in fission yeast spores.
Hayatu Raji is currently investigating microbial biodiversity of a hot spring located at Lamurde Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The aim of this project is to identify potential novel species of bacteria and to investigate possible industrial applications of these bacterial species.
